Slip of the Puddies?
Our football post had me waxing nostalgic, so I went a Googling. Found this gotickets.com page and had to read it thrice before I was sure...
The past few seasons haven’t been the best when it comes to purchasing New York Jets tickets. Due to an uncanny string of injuries to, most notably, their quarterbacks, not to mention other key players, the Jets haven’t been able to develop consistent on-the-field success and Jew York Jets tickets haven't pleased the fans. But the 2006 New York Jets schedule looks good for a team searching for a new identity. Thanks to new head coach Eric Mangini, the youngest head coach in NFL history, and the return of their star starting quarterback, Chad Pennington, the Jets fans are getting excited for a promising season at the Meadowlands.
...that I did! I did see a puddy-tat!
UPDATE: It wasn't about Chad Pennington, Rob. Must be a nod to Passover.

I like Chad but he is too fragile to last a whole season in today's NFL. Jets fans will be disappointed.

OK, I read that thing several times and didn't see it. I'm a lousy proofreader.

And I just do it reflexively and have no clue why. They finally made me the Maint. Dept. proof reader/squadron public affairs officer because I was ALWAYS cracking on the inter dept. messages the AMO, OPSO and MaintChief were sending out ~ frickin' atrocious stuff. But it was cool, 'cause I wound up doing articles for the base paper ~ they liked what I gave their journalists so much, they stopped sending one along with us and gave me the byline. And I wound up reading at squadron formations because Lt's fresh out of college couldn't pronounce every other word in the English language, less mind stumble over some of the names we had. The SgtMaj said "if it's so excruciating, YOU do it." So I did.
I'm a pain in the a$$.

In fairness, J is right above N.

In fairness ::sigh:: I know, Bill. I said "slip", which means "mistake", right? (Do I have to type ::giggle:: next to everything like a freshman on her MySpace site?)
It's a hilarious typo.
Yes. Yes I do.
::giggle::
And I thought you were watching a movie. So go away already.

Well, it is a really funny typo. The sort of typo that could get a mistake prone sportswriter and his absent minded editor fired, and their paper picketed.
Plus, I've seen this movie literally a hundred times. I could probably quote the whole script from memory.

I will be gracious and admit there are a fair number of movies that fall in that category in this house.
And I just got SPAM from a guy "named" Kolmogorov Vladimir ~ a Kossack friend of yours, perhaps?

No, his kossack friend is Pieter Jackov.
